Sorry for the delay in getting this one finished.

A/N Warning this chapter gets dirty towards the end.

Luke can Knit

They had just finished watching the remake of one of Lorelai's all time favourite movies. Lorelai was in full rant mode, something she had learnt from Luke.

"Why Luke why, why mess with a classic, as much as I love Johnny Depp I hate that he did this." Lorelai said pouting.

"You say that about just about all movie and TV show remakes and most sequels. Why did you think this would be different?" Luke asked.

"Johnny was in it." Lorelai said turning off the TV with the remote. "Why did you let me see it?"

"How is this my fault?" Luke asked looking at Lorelai.

"You didn't stop me, I saw it there at the video store and Kirk talked me into it with a free rental offer, you know how I can't pass up a free movie rental." Lorelai said.

"I was working, running my business." Luke pointed out.

"Well I can't watch the Willy Wonka DVD you bought me ever again, it's too hard to even thing about Gene Wilder right now. He's the real Willy Wonka unless…" Lorelai said, her words cut off by Luke.

"No I'm not wearing that outfit again, once was more than enough." Luke said getting up from under Lorelai leg.

"But…" Lorelai tried to add.

"No means no!" Luke told her walking to the kitchen.

Lorelai quickly followed him, picking up the empty popcorn bowel.

"Hey Luke." Lorelai said in a now cheerful tone.

"I said no." Luke reminded her.

"No not that, well not yet. I'll try again later when I'm wearing those pumps you like." She said standing before him. "And nothing else."

"I'll look forward to it." Luke said with a grin.

"I was going to ask you about tomorrow." She said with a smile Luke knew to well.

"Lorelai I said I'll make coffee but that's where my involvement in this crazy event ends, I had to turn away paying customers today until I kicked out those crazy people taking up all my tables knitting." Luke ranted.

"Calm down you don't have to come I just need your help. I want to make you a jumper and I know I can use you other clothes but I thought I would take new measurements." She said with a wink, awkward as always.

Luke put down the washcloth, turning to hold Lorelai's waist. "I guest you better make a thorough inspection then." Lorelai held Luke's face as they kissed.

Luke lift Lorelai of the floor, she wrapped her legs around his waist, holding his neck tight, They continued to kiss as Luke walked them towards the lounge then the stairs. "You've been working-out!" Lorelai remarked with a smile.

They were about to move when the phone rang. "Let the machine get it." Luke said continuing to carry Lorelai up the stairs.

They were on the landing when the answering machine kicked in with Lorelai sounding happy. "This is Lorelai," then Luke's not so happy voice. "and Luke," Lorelai's voice again. "With more enthusiasm next time Luke, okay you know what to do after the beep!"

"You used that?" Luke remarked.

On the phone was T.J. it in a panic. "Luke I tried calling your cell be it's off, it's showtime, Luke, we need you!"

Luke rushed to the phone picking it up. "What the hell's going on over there? Is Liz okay?" He could hear Liz screaming in the background.

"She's amazing! We're having a baby, baby! It's beautiful! You got to get over here." T.J. joyfully said. "Bring Lorelai."

"We're on our way!" Luke hung up the phone. "The baby's coming." Luke said grabbing his keys off the desk. "We've gotta go!"

Lorelai got her bag and coat as Luke checked the back door and they left.

--

Luke and Lorelai wait in the kitchen as they hear Liz screaming from the bedroom.

"Why did they want to do this here?" Luke asked as he paced the floor.

"You got me. Sookie did it with Davey and said never again." Lorelai said sitting at the table with a cup of coffee. "Sit before you wear a whole in the floor."

Luke sat on the other side of the table, unable to relax. "A hospital has the back up if things go wrong."

"And drugs, thank God for Demerol I was whacked out on that so much with Rory I could have given birth to an elephant." She said taking a sip of the coffee.

The kitchen was silent for a few minutes before they heard a baby crying. Lorelai squeezed Luke's hand and smiled. As T.J. came running in. "It's a girl!" he said going to the fridge and getting a beer for the fridge.

"T.J.!" Luke shouted.

"Relax Luke." Showing Luke the label. "It's Ginger Beer but I could use some alcohol right about now, wait till Lorelai is cursing and throwing things at you with your kids." T.J. said chugging down the drink before placing the half empty bottle on the sink and wiping is mouth with his sleeve.

"So you're a dad, congratulations. How's it feel?" Lorelai asked.

"It's great, she's great, and we're great." T.J. said speeding through the words.

"So Liz is fine." Luke asked.

"She's bonding with Doula." T.J. said taking another drink.

"Doula" Luke and Lorelai said together.

"Are you sure about that T.J.?" Luke asked.

"Wait till you see her, she's a Doula if I every saw one." T.J. said. "Well I'm going back in, I'll come out shortly when Liz is ready."

About fifteen minutes later they were called in to meet the newest member of the family.

Liz was lying on the bed with Doula in her arms. "Come here you two, meet Doula." She looked a little tired from the birth.

"How are you?" Luke asked.

Liz looked up. "I'm fine, a little tired but I feel great."

"I told them that." T.J. said sitting next to Liz on the edge of the bed.

"So this is Doula, she's very pretty." Lorelai said in awe of them.

"We think so." Liz said.

"What's that, Doula?" T.J. said changing his voice to sound like a baby. "I want my uncle Luke to hold me."

Luke chuckled as Lorelai looked on.

"You heard her." T.J. said

Luke wasn't sure. "Oh, no, no, no. You keep her." He said not wanting the baby to leave her mother.

T.J. used a high-pitched voice again "Please! Uncle Lukey!"

"No, really, really, really, I don't have..." Luke tried to insist.

Liz spoke up. "Come on Luke." She told her brother.

"Come on." T.J. repeated.

Luke tried one last time "I don't have to."

T.J. now imitated a crying baby. "I want my uncle Lukey to hold me!" He said.

Luke finally gave in. "Okay. Okay."

T.J. handed Doula to Luke. "Here you go, Doula."

Lorelai stayed close to Luke, holding his side. "Hey, Doula." Luke said.

"Hi I'm your auntie Lorelai." She said smiling with Luke as they looked at the baby.

"Isn't she beautiful?" T.J. said. "Look at her eyes. She's got Liz's eyes."

"It's true." Liz confirmed.

T.J. added "Ah and -- and aunt Sissy's chin, right? That's totally sissy's chin."

"No, Sissy was adopted." Liz said.

But T.J. didn't get it for a few seconds.

"Ohh! Well, I don't know how she does it, but she's got her chin." T.J. insisted.

Liz chuckled. "What do you think, Luke?"

Luke smiled. "She's great."

"That's your uncle Luke," T.J. said. "And that's Lorelai, Luke's girlfriend. Luke also has a daughter who is your cousin, April. Now, I bet April is gonna be your number-one babysitter. Am I right, Luke?"

Luke could only think of April at that moment while holding Doula. He had to fight to have the rights he deserved as her father he decided. "Yeah. Sure." He said before going to hand the infant back to Liz.

"No it's Lorelai's turn." Liz said, Luke handing her over.

He watched as Lorelai did baby noises, she looked perfect holding the baby, he missed that with April but he didn't want to miss any more of her life and wanted to experience it with Lorelai.

--

Later that night Lorelai was reading in bed, as Luke was finishing off brushing his teeth.

"So we'll start looking for a lawyer tomorrow then." Luke said turning off the light as he left the bathroom.

"I'll ask my dad, he'll have some names we can try." Lorelai said.

"So I'm doing the right thing then, fighting for April?" Luke asked Lorelai as he climbed into his side of the bed.

Lorelai put down her book on the bed and looking over the top of her glasses. "Of course it is, you should have done this from the start."

Luke made himself comfortable. "But Anna was always so nice before, I trusted her." Luke said.

"She kept April from you for 12 years Luke, besides this was out of her control." Lorelai said taking off the glasses. "She's probably doing what she thinks is right, I can understand that."

"I do but April is part of my life, our life now and she just can't take her away when I've just got to know her." Luke said getting emotional.

Lorelai lent over and kissed Luke. "I'm here for you, you know that. We'll fight this together."

Luke looked at Lorelai then down to the bed noticing the book. "What's this." He said picking it up.

"I borrowed it from Sookie." Lorelai said.

"Big Book or Baby Names" Luke read the title. "So you still want to have another?" He asked.

"I never stopped wanting it, I even considered getting pregnant when we were having problems just to get your attention." Lorelai said frankly taking the book from Luke.

"Lorelai…" Luke started to say.

"I know it would have been wrong but I was desperate, I guess that's a given considering what happened later." She said almost crying.

Clearing his throat. "So what names do you like?" he said tapping the book.

"Well there are so many to choose from." She said. "But I keep coming back to one name." Opening the book.

"It's not Lorelai is it, that could just get confusing." Luke joked.

"William for a boy might be nice." She said.

Luke with a tear in his eye spoke. "That would be nice, and for a girl?"

"Well that's tricky, girls are hard to please." Lorelai said.

"What about Rosemary." Luke asked that was my mother's name.

"That a lovely name for a girl." She said. "Of course we'll have to use Richard and Emily as middle names."

Luke lent over kissing Lorelai on the lips. Lorelai book the book down holding Luke's face as their tongues met. The passion built as Lorelai moved to straddle Luke under the covers.

"So are we trying now?" Luke asked.

"I'm still on the pill so it you want to then I'll have to stop." Lorelai said looking into his eyes.

"So this is just practice then?" Luke said.

"Can't get too much practice." Kissing Luke on the chest through his t-shirt. "I like practising with you."

Lorelai lifted Luke's t-shirt off as he lent forward. Kissing down his front to his stomach Luke played with her hair running the curls through his fingers.

"Tell me what you like about my body." Lorelai said resting her head in her hands as she looked up at Luke.

Luke touched her hair. "I like you curls and the shade of brown in the morning when it's lying across your back as you sleep, it reminds me of the coffee you like so much. I like the smell of it in the morning when I kiss you goodbye as you sleep, without the fruity shampoo or perfume." He said.

Lorelai sat up moving the covers back. "I love your legs, they are strong but delicate and you look great in a short dress, you need to show them off more often." He told Lorelai.

Luke slid his hands up her thighs to move the baby doll dress aside as he exposed her boy-cut panties. "I love you hips, the shape of them and the feel of you buttocks in my hands." He said pulling her close.

Lorelai lifted the nightgown off exposing her breasts to the night air. "You belly is just the right shape, not perfectly flat like those anorexic models but slightly rounded, like a normal healthy adult."

Feeling her breasts he ran the back of his hand over the hardening nipples. "Your breasts are the right size, not too big which is a waste." He said running his index finger over the surface. "Still firm but with a little bounce which I like to watch. The areola's are dotted with freckles like these here on the top of your breast."

Luke moved on to her face, touching Lorelai's chin. "Your face is the window to who you are." He said. "You lips are nice to touch and despite the copious amounts of coffee you've drunk in your life and the faint taste of coffee I sill enjoy kissing you. The lines around your eyes make you real, not fake like those Hollywood types and the freckle on your nose is so cute."

It was now Luke's turn. "Okay your turn." Luke said.

"Well I really like you with your shirt off, it's very nice to look at and touch, who knew Luke days was so well build under all that flannel. I know I'd seen you at the lake but you hardly took off you t-shirt. I like these hairs on you chest, the shaven look may please some but it's not a crowd pleaser for me. But then some guys look like a yeti, you my friend have just the right coverage." Lorelai said twirling the hairs with her fingers as her nails scrapped the skin. "I love your arms all the way from you biceps down to the tips of your long fingers. And this tattoo, before we dated I had no idea you were such a bad boy all these years. I used to consider a bad boy as someone who didn't get into Yale."

Lorelai stroked his face. "You have a rugged appeal, the look of a real man. I really love it where these hairs are touching the skin on my face, chest and other parts of my body. Your lips are softer that I would have guest given the rest of your face and I love putting my coffee covered ones on yours."

"Is that all?" Luke asked.

"Well there is one other part I love the most." She said stroking the top of his pants. "Is there anything you missed?"

"You know what I like." Luke said in a deep tone that made Lorelai's heart skip and she was suddenly aware of how ready she was.

Luke stroked his fingers over her panties, Lorelai moaned with the light touch. "Oh yes!" She said arching her back as she looked to the ceiling.

Lorelai climbed off Luke, standing above him she bent over Luke catching her mouth as they kissed for a brief few seconds. Luke began lowering he panties but with Lorelai's legs either side of Luke they barely mad it to her knees. Luke didn't mind using the opportunity to run his fingers along her exposed slit Luke could feel how hot and wet she was.

Lorelai helped Luke off with his track pants before he moved to lay with his feet touching the end of the bed on top of the covers that were tossed aside. Lorelai squatted over Luke facing his legs she lowered her centre over his waiting length.

Lorelai moaned as Luke slid inside her, he could feel he muscles gripping the length as they adjusted to the feelings. Lorelai moved her hair off her back as Luke began to rub her shoulders, a small massage before the main event. Lorelai was clearly enjoying the attention with moans that would wake Paul Anka sleeping in the corner if they were not careful.

When ready Lorelai began to move using her squatting position to her advantage as she lent forward sliding along Luke's full length to almost expose his head on each stroke. Lorelai grabbing Luke's feet she squeezed as her pace built.

Changing angle Lorelai lay back on Luke's body allowing Luke to put his hand between her legs rubbing her mound then clit he could feel himself moving inside her body. Luke cupped Lorelai breast with the other hand and Lorelai flicked her hair aside as they kissed.

Coming close to their climax Lorelai slowed and pulling Luke out she lay on her side of the bed. Luke turned over finding his position between her legs, spreading them apart he sat up kneeling as he entered Lorelai again. Holding both legs Luke stroked they union a few times with his fingers as he moved inside Lorelai building pace once again as his climax came seeding his creamy seed inside her body.

Luke rolled to the side pulling Lorelai close as the last of her orgasms faded, they held each other for minutes not bothering with the covers as their heat filled the cooling room. Almost asleep Lorelai felt the cool air tapping Luke to pull the covers from his side. They repositioned without a word Lorelai holding Luke's arm as she turned to spoon with Luke, their favourite position in bed together.

"So I heard you can knit?" Lorelai said getting Luke's attention.

"How did you…" Luke said.

"Liz called the other day and we got talking about things, the knit-a-thon came up." Lorelai said. "Sorry."

"It's okay, so you found out my dark secret, I Luke Danes can knit." Luke said with candour. "I choose not to."

"I'm so getting you to make me a wrap to go with that new dress I plan on buying next week." Lorelai said as she kissed Luke goodnight.

A/N yes I used some of lines from the show but in this case I think they work better than what I could write.
